State 4-H Dairy
Judging Team Seeking to Replace Funds
|
|
The Missouri 4-H Dairy Judging Team is seeking annual donors to support the travel
experiences of the team. We recently lost a large annual sponsor, and need to replace
approximately $3500 of our annual budget in addition to funding the continued judging
of the team in Europe in 2018.
We chose to contact you and ask for your assistance because you know first hand what
being a part of a judging team means to young people. In fact, during the survey
we conducted in 2013, former Missouri 4-H Dairy Judging Team members told us how
important that experience was to their development. We had nearly a 50% return
rate on our survey, and 80% of participants strongly agreed that their 4-H dairy
judging experience had increased their communication and public speaking skills.
Seventy-eight percent of respondents strongly agreed their 4-H dairy judging
team experience had increased their presentation skills, and 70% strongly agreed
their 4-H dairy judging team experience helped them in meeting new people.
We appreciate your willingness to partner with us to continue this legacy for
the MO 4-H Dairy Judging Team. Your financial contribution of $100, $250 or
$500 is fully tax deductible. Won’t you consider helping us by completing the
attached pledge card today? Thank you in advance for your support of Missouri
4-H Dairy Judging!
Sincerely,
Karla Deaver and Ted Probert
